I'm a bit wary with cheap copies as SMP only made their saddle in Italy exclusively.
I'm always a little bit sceptical about any company that claims 100% manufactured in x country. Its worth £25 to see if I get on with the shape - if there really is a difference between this and the £200 versions then it can always go on the comedy beater bike which is already covered in faux pricey parts

I found it surprisingly more comfortable than the Brooks saddle, the way you're sitting on it, it felt like I can take road vibration more than on the sit bones which allow me to relaxed more.
Mines the composit with a leather cover on it, first time I've experienced a saddle with 100% no numbness on the soft tissues, very weird but rewarding.
